‘Heads-Up’ Game Store Update 21st March 2012

Share this post

For PlayStation 3 This week will see Assassin’s Creed Revelations’ release on the store (on Friday). Until Monday the 26th, you’ll be able to get it at a discounted rate, so grab it before it sneaks back to full price.

If you haven’t had your chance to start at the beginning of the series (like me!) then the Assassin’s Creed Double Edition bundle will serve you well. The bundle will give you the first two games, letting you experience the series where it all began.

Also, after a bit of a wait we now have some Resident Evil avatars that y’all can snap up. There is a selection of characters from both Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica to choose from.

So, that’s it for today. Short and sweet!

’til next time…

Now that PS2 classics are on the store, I think there is a load of potential that has not yet been tapped into.

Games like Dark Chronicle and Rogue Galaxy would be awesome and would get tonnes of attention.

However, what would be easier on your end, and probably even better on ours, would be to release Chrono Cross as a PS1 US import. It’s already on the NA PSN, and there are so many Europeans who have heard great things but have never been able to play it.

Again I’m disappointed with the lack of Vita stuff. While I understand we’re still very much in the launch window, the lack of content and indeed confirmed games with firm release dates is slightly worrying.

Nothing for me to purchase today. None of the Plus discounts appeal (I tried the Rayman trial from the US store but it didn’t do much for me, and I’ve never liked Assassin’s Creed). No matter. Still enjoying the excellent Sly Cooper Trilogy from last week’s bargain sale. £8.99 for 3 truly excellent platformers all with Platinum trophies to acquire. I’ll take the LBP2 Spring thing.

This is getting ridiculous.Where’s all the Vita content? It’s a month since launch now.And will we hear any time soon of the PSOne Classics coming to it, if ever? I’ve got so many Classics bought that i want to transfer to my Vita.

since the RE4 avatars are going up are buyers of the game gonna be honored the free avatars?

the EU store seems to have a problem when it comes to offering freebies why is that? first the free Beyond good and evil avatars aren’t given then RE4 and now the theme for journey. why is there problems surrounding these? it is false advertising.

RE4 avatars are a different issue that I can’t go into but others, such as the Journey theme are delayed for their own reasons, but this is out today (noticed this right now, basically).

As for BbS, SE’s community blog. Make yourself heard. I wouldn’t mind it myself either…except I don’t know if I could handle getting trashed time and time again by Hooded-Guy Boss Fight…can’t remember how many times I had to try that fight on Critical mode but oh was it satisfying to win!

How comes its a demo I thought this puzzler was launch is there a full game available???are we due we vita games soon Ben 10 racing came out last week couldn’t find the game nowhere had to import it in the end how comes this never came to the store???will we get a drop update like the US does a few days prior to the Wednesday update gives people a chance to know what to spend there money on.

Falcon1991 rayman3 is basicly a game where you punch baddies and get a high score in each level to a 100% i think ul like the game i had it on ps2 its got some good funny monments in it and with a %20 disocunt im deffo buying this and as for assasins creed revs il get it next week when i got £70 then i can get all dlc for it and DBcoopmore the jouney theme is still along way away and has to come to us lol

“More later in the month, we’ve not forgotten those additional games that are currently available in SCEA, so watch out for those to be slotted in over the next few weeks, as well as a selection of additional Full Game Trials.”

when are we going to get some good PS2 classics ? the PS2 was one of the best consoles ever but you wouldn’t know judging from the PS2 games on the store in fact if you see the selection available you would think the PS2 was the worst console ever when that isn’t true.

really the PS1 and PS2 classics would be the best things about the PS3.

really what’s taking so long to get some PS2 games and when you do finally put some up its mostly shovelware.

It really is sad that when it began selling the vita of each stated as sony will take care of the content and features … Near only works sometimes, compatibility of PS1 games is zero, the Web browser is useless to store and not a hint or psv game …. sadly

A bit meeh this week!Btw, Toy Story 3 game on norwegian PSN is swedish! I really don’t want to hear a lot of swedish in my game. There is no way to change language. English would be the best (I HATE dubing), but norwegian would at least be 123 times better than swedish!

The section looks awfully lonely without God of war – is there a chance of getting some of these? Be sure to get the big Kratos and the gods of Olympus!

And because of the fact that Doctor who: the Eternity Clock will be materialising next month, would it be possible to press for some DW-based avatars? I’d love them very much, a dynamic theme (pushing it?) would also be fantastic.
